Marine Corps Birthday 2022 – Thursday, November 10! The United States Marine Corps, which is considered an integral part of the United States Armed Forces has its birthday observed on the 10th of November. The day has its origin in the year 1921. The US government wanted to show its gratitude and token of honor through the establishment on the 10th of November of that every year. The Marine Corps has played a significant part in US history for a long time since then. Marine Corps Birthday is a reflector in honor of everything that the force stands for and continues to do for the US.
History of the Marine Corps Birthday
This year the Marine Corps would celebrate its 245 birthday. So, it is only sane to assume that it has a long and rich history. The revolutionary war of October 1775 has a connection to the origin of the birthday of the Marine Corps. Back at that time, the Continental Congress reared a scheme to use Marines for obstructing the ammunition shipment by Britain. This particular scheme along with a November resolution was the founding pillar behind the formation of the Modern Day US Marine Corps that we observe today.
The plan to annex Nova Scotia by attacking it through the usage of US Marine never saw fruition but it makes one wonder how long the force was kept going then. The answer lies in the context. The force was neglected so much and the lack of legislation made it border in the range of extinction in the year 1785. Later in 1794, the US Marine Corps was reborn like a phoenix when Congress issued the first legislation emphasizing the need for a Navy and Marine Force.
The Birthday of the US Marine Corps saw the light in 1921, on behalf of Major General John Lejeune. On his order on 10th November 1775- the US Marine Corps Birthday was recognized and initiated.
